Open Auditions for Ripon Area Community Theater (RACT) Summer Musical
"A-Wop Bop A-Loo Bop"
The Ripon Area Community Theatre (RACT) is holding open auditions for its summer musical, “A-Wop Bop A-Loo Bop,” May 12-13, with auditions in Ripon and Waupun. A-Wop Bop A-Loo Bop takes us back to the late 1950’s as Rock & Roll is taking the airwaves by storm. Roberta "Ruby" Lester and her friends are spunky teenagers with dreams of making it big in the music business. But sometimes dreams don’t go as planned. When the local radio station announces that “Rock‘n’Roll has got to go”, the kids take a stand for the music they love.
Open to all actors 12 and older, auditioners should come prepared to sing a vocal audition, and will read portions of scenes. Auditions will be Friday, May 12th, 5-7pm and Saturday, May 13th, 10am-12:30 pm in the Fellowship Hall of the First Congregational Church, 220 Ransom St., Ripon; and Saturday, May 13th, 1:30–3:30 pm in the Carnegie Room at the Waupun Public Library, 123 S. Forest St., Waupun.

Performances will be August 11-13. The RACT production of A-Wop Bop A-Loo Bop is produced by special license through Music Theatre International (MTI).
